Changing text color

[mmcmanus]

I am looking for a way to change the text color of a form label when validation fails. Since I can't use popups I need some way to indicate that an entry is not valid. I have been able to make an entry into the form field. But don't seem to be able to come up with a way to change the color of the text. I tried html text but that does not seem to work either.

I''m sure I am missing something obvious. Any ideas or solutions out there?

Thanks

If I figured out what you are trying to obtain just give a name to your label (property name of the label) then you will be able to set the color in the validation method with:

if (value is ok)
elements.your_label_name.fgcolor = '#ff33cc';
else
elements.your_label_name.fgcolor = '#ffffff';


hope this helps

SORRY

I did not realize you were referring to webclient....

Workaround: place an icon (or a label) in proximity of the field, you can then turn it on/off by method.... Tested with 3.0b1 and works fine!!

elements.your_icon.visible = !elements.your_icon.visible; // switches on-off

also you can change the text of the label....

Well here is what I ended up doing. Which works mostly. I just have to deal with some parsing issues today. the key is the .text in Javascript.

Set the labels to html
Got the text of the label using some like lablename.text
Created 2 globals gStandard gError and put in HTML text for either option
Set the text of the label

alll done! EXCEPT, I forgot to strip the html markup from the gotten label text. Which is this morning task.

Thanks for the ideas
